Regional powerhouse India have comfortably won all their matches in the group phase and scoring a staggering 39 goals and are yet to concede any. On the other hand, Pakistan started their campaign well with two wins against relatively weak oppositions, but when they came up against a strong Nepal and Indian side, they were helpless. Pakistani coach Tariq Lutfi admitted that India were strong opponents, but he had not left out the hope of making an upset.
